Nostalgia Critic - The NeverEnding Story 3

[@KneelB4Bacon]

15:31 "We must NOT give in to the Nasty." THAT is the most unintentionally hilarious line in a children's movie, ever.

[@KangaKucha]

IMHO the girl actors in this flim, sister and the emperorness, werent that bad. Nor that scene when Bastian brings up one be thing after another to be told no, or the line I mentioned before that's in the trailer. Throw in jack black trying to be good, and that's all that's good about this POS flim. 2 has it faults and such, but is ok sequel to one IMHO and deserves to be paired even if bad. But this is just shit.

[@AstralDragoon]

I don't get the joke...

[@KneelB4Bacon]

AstralDragoon 'The Nasty' is a slang expression in English for sex. As in, "do the nasty", "doing the nasty", "let's do the nasty", etc.

[@susybe6158]

Even Felix in your profile image feels the same way.

[@KangaKucha]

Susy Be bet that movie about his avatar gives ya a simular feeling lol ;)

[@FortressFilms]

Never Ending Story 4 Confirmed: Hugo Weaving will be playing *The OoooOOooOoOo*.

[@ShadowSonic2]

Does he really need the money THAT badly?

[@FOR3V3RRAY]

And yet he just owned sauron's ghosts in the last hobbit movie 0.0

[@Goose.Films.]

And bastion will be played by that boy from the cat in the hat

[@Metrawolf]

Fantasians need love like everything does.

[@Goose.Films.]

Metrawolf Mr astion

[@MortonGoldthwait]

The villain of the first film was The Nothing, then it was The Emptiness. Me and my brother thought the third film would have The Never Was.

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

I would've called the villain for a 3rd Neverending Story "The Void"

[@TheJabbate1]

I would have kept "The Nasty" but have the bullies actually physically abuse the book by breaking its spine and tearing out its pages. It might explain why Falcor lost his wisdom.

[@kiraina25]

Interestingly enough, in a very real sense *spoilers follow* (tl;dr the book has a really interesting and unique "villain" for the second half, people should go read it!) The villain of a good part of the second half of the original book is actually Bastian, albeit helped somewhat along by Xaide. (Yes, she's actually in the book, but she's much more a bit-part villain at first and then a corruptive influence until suffering death by having no point to being in the story anymore.) Then again it's really hard to make a movie based on the second half of the book anyway because of how the first one ended; we basically jump from the near-middle of the story to the very last chapter, whereas in the book Bastian enters Fantastica and is given AURYN and spends... quite a bit of time there. I still think it'd be kinda neat to see a movie where the villain is actually the *protagonist of the story*, but it'd be really hard to pull off; I doubt there's many filmmakers who could pull it off, and THESE chuckleheads sure as hell couldn't.

[@Autisticgoldfish96]

RED Soldier Well then, let's call it Sithis and we're good to go.

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

Roeg Still, the "Void" would seem the most fitting as both the "Nothing" and the "Emptiness" mean literally a lack of anything at all, like a void. It's just to stay true to the one thing both former villains shared other than both being villains.

[@sebwan]

Jack Black doesn't deserve to have to play in such a shitty movie, he's too awesome for that

[@Marco-wp9kw]

He was also in Biodome, sadly.

[@MrAlcazar]

I gotta admit, he's the only entertaining character in here. Not bad for one of his early roles.

[@ShadowSonic2]

MrAlcazar I think he did Mars Attacks right after this.

[@MrAlcazar]

Oh wow I forgot he was in that.

[@SpeccyHorace]

He did Year One, so he can fuck off.

[@RaffiTheQuokka]

Oh god, I made my father take me to the cinema on this one when I was a kid. THE CINEMA, where you pay money for... this? And he did, without bitching about it. Dad, I don't appreciate you enough. I love you.

[@vincentvorse]

16:40- Bastian: "I'll just make sure they're in the new Fantasia" -Will Smith: "DENIED!!!"

[@TheReviewSpace]

If you've read the novel, how does it stack up against the original film? Obviously the 2nd and 3rd are inferior, but even the author of the novel felt the 1st changed too much from the story....so I'd like to know which people think is best: Book vs First Film.

[@Endtimescoming]

How did Jack Black escape this ....THIS..... and have a carreer of any sort afterward.

[@teoteous]

Well, it just goes to show there is always hope in any situation for all of us.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

NO, Bastian!

[@TheMrlittletooth]

"For a successful actor to be sucessful all they need is rich parents" both of Jack Blacks parents are Rocket Scientists.

[@Logan912]

Cam Wrecker It helps that he's one-half of Tenacious D too.

[@TheMrlittletooth]

Logan Palmer TD started with the help of his parents but yeah. Especially with the TD cameo in biodome.

[@fairhairednative]

5:18 "looks like a pig that just ate Vince Vaughn" Best and most appropriate Nostalgia Critic joke ever.

[@r4h4al]

fairhairednative Yeah that was the best part. :D

[@KneelB4Bacon]

13:58 I almost choked to death on my soda here: [after Rockbiter sings "Born to Be Wild"] _"Okay, let me make one thing perfectly clear, this is NOT jumping the shark. I'm gonna repeat that again, this is NOT jumping the shark. No, no, no._ _[Inhales deeply]_ _Nostalgia Critic: This is jumping the shark, coming back, shooting it in the balls, raping it, eating its flesh, consuming its soul, mounting its head on the wall... and then doing the _*_SAME THING TO 12 MORE FUCKING SHARKS JUST TO BE SAFE!_*_"_

[@Evannco]

Bastion is like the doctor. He is constantly being played by different actors every time.

[@nickkurtz512]

Either that or he was kidnapped by Hollywood executives and was forced to get plastic surgery twice. Either way good theory.

[@silentlamb21]

Btw, play "bastion". It's awesome ;)

[@1216Rockman]

Pylon Jumper 2002 What if the other two movies after Neverending Story 1 were just a dream.

[@informalfallacy9780]

Pylon Jumper 2002 The biggest difference is that the Doctor hasn't been played poorly yet.

[@artemisfowldragon]

Pylon Jumper 2002 the only difference is that he's not as cool as the doctor or british or can time travel or regenerate

[@RedFlyer411]

When I was a kid I had never watched the original Neverending story or the first sequel. One of my elementary teachers, wanting to entertain us for a couple days played this movie and none of it made sense to me. That's right. Me. Age six. That this was more random than any cartoon I'd ever watched. A week later I wondered if I had really ever watched such a movie at all. .... Much later on I watched the Original NEVERENDING STORY. And I couldn't believe this was the same movie as the piece of * * * * I'd watched as a kid. It couldn't have, because this was {insert the most wonderful comments about what wonderful storytelling, characters, music, and feelings that were included in the original NEVERENDING STORY}. Nothing like the f##king sequels. NOTHING LIKE THEM AT ALL! *GOES OFF TO FIND THE ORIGINAL BOOK AT LOCAL LIBRARY*

[@HubPie3]

Really? When I was six, my first grade teacher played my class Monster's Inc, a far superior movie to this shit. I feel bad for you, man.

[@RedFlyer411]

Hub Hikari Being a 90's kid isn't all its cracked up to be. There we some good and bad live action kids movies back then. My teachers made me watch a good chunk of berated movies, lame fairy tale retellings, and Disney. Thank God for Disney in the 90's!

[@RadioFade]

RedFlyer411 I saw the second film first, which was aaaaallright to my little-person mind, but when i saw the first soon after it blew me away (not to mention, the Dark Crystal was on the videotape right after it! *winning*). I then hunted down a copy of the book, and to this day it remains one of my favourite novels.

[@brianriff8550]

RedFlyer411 DuckTales (ooh OOH ooh)

[@JamesLawner]

You won't believe how I got to see this movie, it was packaged in a cheapo case that was marked, "Harry Potter and The Never-Ending Story", it even had a photoshopped cover! and my 8-year-old self legit thought it was a Harry Potter sequel!(At that time I didn't know about the Harry Potter sequel names)

[@joshpearson2928]

As an Avatar fan I can't believe I'm saying this (but after the cockstorm my eyes just saw) but this movie makes me long for the elegance of the Last Airbender movie.

[@jrpludacrous]

hell, this makes me think Sonic 06 was a finished game

[@terabite7688]

Now I want to play Dalmatians 3 and watch Trolls 2 while listening to a let's play of E.T. for the 2600.

[@tmzissupergay]

NOT....EVEN!!!!!!!!

[@terabite7688]

Due to the recent death of this KZbinr because of a failure overload, this channel will soon be removed. ...Or do they?!

[@artemisfowldragon]

Josh Pearson don't say that!!!! this movie isn't THAT bad the last airbender is still thw worst and also, it's still better that twilight

[@vincentmoncalamari510]

You know it's going to be good when it starts out with Doug crying

[@Huegeltroll]

And when Admiral Ackbar reference comes up...

[@Kitties_are_pretty]

It's like the film is constantly screaming "Fuck you" at the viewer.

[@retrogamelover2012]

So it's "I wanna be the guy: The movie"? Since the game could be described as "Fuck you: The videogame".

[@King-ze2kt]

I saw this as The Nasty messing with the book changing the characters not them misunderstanding the characters.

[@retrogamelover2012]

Casey Keith If that were the case, they could've shown that a little better

[@King-ze2kt]

retrogamelover2012 yeah they probably could have ended it with everyone going back to normal.

[@TheRoflcer]

18:50 I can't help but think if the original writer was working on this movie, he would have Falcor say "It may not be fantasia, but it's still quite magical."

[@RaspberryHeart470]

I could have lived all of my life without knowing that The NeverEnding Story had these terrible sequels. Now I must live my life knowing that a sweet moment of my childhood was stabbed not ONCE....but TWICE.

[@Acobjum]

Or more times than that. I heard there was a bad tv series and book series based around the characters from the 3rd movie. I could be wrong, and I hope I am, though I may be unfortunately right.

[@MrKilljoy000001]

He went all Gordon Freeman on that movie's ass.

[@Idie2draw]

Valcor in this film is like they blended tony the tigers voice + scooby doo+ patrick the star! sigh...

[@BlueScarabGuy]

Wow, the Critic literally turned into the Joker at the end. He laughed evilly and viciously murdered something with a crowbar. Let's just hope the Never ending Story 3 doesn't come back as the Red Hood.

[@epicmodestyprd]

WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO FALCOR!

[@edvance1030]

Yeah. They turned him into Scooby Doo!

[@bradhedgehog12]

Eddie more like a Scooby Doofus

[@Number9Robotic]

The timescale of this movie is confusing as hell. So in a matter of a few days, it's the start of the school year, Chinese New Year and Halloween, in that order? ...kay.

[@Tengila]

I... must confess that i have never actually watched the Neverending story. I have, however, read the book, and watching these reviews of the movies out of curiosity, I can't help but find myself majorly weirded out. It seems like they took some of the story arcs from the book, split them up, shuffled them around a bit, removed about half of the content and added a lot of nonsensical bullshit to it and then they made three movies out of the results. The fact that my favourite arc seems to be completely absent from the movies does not help. The events also seem to be completely out of order. What scraps there are of the original canon that appears in the third movie, for example, happened somewhere during the events of the first movie. To make it all worse, I seem to see no references to the original book at all anywhere. Not in any of this guy's eviews, and not in any of the comments. Am I the only one who has read the original? Because it was awesome. Even if I can't possibly take any of the movies seriously because of it. No, not even the good one. Also, Atreju had olive-green skin. Just... Just putting that out there.

[@ShadowSonic2]

The first movie covered the first half of the book, and some aspects of the second half were in the second movie. The problem is, the second half of the book (where Bastian is this self-absorbed jerk) is really really hard to translate to screen and was never going to be totally workable.

[@Nectarisa]

The first movie is a brilliant piece of film. See it.

[@BTTFMovie]

Literally, the only thing from the book that's in this movie is the Old Man of Wandering Mountain, and even he was botched up.

[@murphyjack90]

To be fair, Jack Black can make any movie tolerable.

[@jhc1971]

Nothing can save this turd.

[@nicholasbarber8531]

Hey man he said tolerable, not saved. He's only Jack Black, not Jesus.

[@Slaggedfire]

Wait...they're not the same person? Damn I've been doing this whole religion thing wrong.

[@jhc1971]

LOL Cute I like that.

[@Nectarisa]

Haha, I liked that, too :)

[@emcvideoproductions500]

Memories

[@slicedice2284]

no the true villain of this movie is the director

[@KnightsaysNi]

I would say the producers, a director has no means for creating a turd without funds.

[@Obl1queproductions]

I tried to watch it as a kid, i kept holding out that this movie was going to get good. When i saw Rock Biter i realized there was no hope and could not go any further. You sir, have made the sacrifice for us all...

[@cristalviper1223]

Is Bastian the guy from Goosebumps? You know, the one who grows hair in "weird places"?

[@SupaSonicFanboy]

STOP!

[@bananatiergod]

+CristalViper ღ No, but he was on Free Willy. :)

[@The_Mimewar]

Bastian IS the villain! He changed who the Nasties were. Changed them entirely, which is no worse than what the Nasties did, except Bastians change is permanent.

[@BlackAce-zr2ms]

As gentle and good natured as I am....I feel I have to let my heart out at this one..... What on earth is this movie? It depicts nothing like the original, not even the second installment which was a pure continuation of the book as a whole to complete the saga! The characters are wrong in every step that this movie takes.... As for the animatronics such as myself, they ruined it completely, ruined my look and design as well as cut out the fact that as the Nostalgia Critic put mildly in context, that I am a dignified creature, who is optimistic, loving and wise! But this counterpart I named Reginald because he is outrageously stupid! I am always optimistic about facts, but don't get me wrong, I bet Atreyu was glad he wasn't in this film! To suffer the horror of being turned into a no brained warrior who does himself with his own bow and arrow! Engywook the scientist and Urgl the potions master? Since when were they minutely small and also how come they are backwards as well as some! I don't think Engywook himself would believe that is what he materialised into! He was an eccentric who loved the Southern Oracle! And even his wife...yes I did forgive her for placing that sharp needle into my spine but that is not the point. She was a lovable being too, yes she doesn't seem too bad....but she bears no resemblance to her original state in Fantasia as well as her reputation! The Empress and Rockbiter....my my it gets worse from here. Firstly how come the Empress changed face? She was a beautiful ruler of Fantasia, she was a child yes, but one with great talent and power. But they ruined her too. Character with no power, a person with no strength, no flair and no knowledge and furthermore no plan to prevail in these tough times, at least originally she had the plan to defeat the Nothing and we ended up surviving in the end due to her incredible abilities in communications with mankind. Rockbiter, poor thing....he suffered terribly at the hands of who controlled this abomination! Firstly, he looks nothing like I and others know him, he is 1000 feet high on his bike and he is very muscular with his rock body! Here he looks like something out of a comic book. Again no resemblance, and I don't remember him having a wife! Especially one with a.....erm....male accent.....quite extrodinary...And their son....I know in the second edition of our screening he constructed a son, also known as Rockbiter Junior....still even in our book he doesn't exist. Again very poor....I feel sorry for everyone who was embarrassed by our appearance in this movie. As for Bastian? The original disappeared, the second Bastian forgot about us, and the third....I think he prefers playing with a skateboard whilst making his hair look.....I can't say... Still I hope this openess towards the Neverending Story III....helps in ways of thinking of us how we used to be. Love and Luck to you all Falkor (Fuchur) xxxxx

[@vaultrant2499]

***** WOW HOW FUCKING RELEVANT

[@charleshackettjr.7484]

Falkor I forgive you my friend, this was just a rough time for ok bud, we know that the morons who produced, wrote, and directed this sunken ship are fully to blame sir. .and no mentioning what they did to our beloved rock friend...it's best to never acknowledge it ever again. ..he's still recovering

[@RennieAsh]

The book was "finished" with the 2nd movie that didn't even follow it properly.

[@NaiTaiDai]

Does anyone else feel like crying like our noble Doug after seeing this?

[@xRemRooodx]

I do. I feel so dirty just by watching this review. :D

[@TXFDA]

"No, Bastian" is the best line of this movie.

[@KangaKucha]

IMHO the best line was not that but was featured in the trailer, thus one can skip everything ;) That line is what the male gnoom says to his wife after she notices his body was vanishing: well your body went years ago!

[@cooljim1376]

Mathew Clemence Good to know he has a loyal passionate wife...I'm being sarcastic by the way...

[@scottylewis8124]

No Bastian. Don't say yes to this movie

[@richardwhite8413]

Another weird bit of trivia: Freddie Jones who played The Librarian in this also played Thufir Hawat in David Lynch's Dune and Julie Cox who played the Empress went on to play Princess Irulan in the mini series of....wait for it...Dune!

[@Tsukiyomi998]

The " Im fucking the DVD" part Inspired Ride to hell retribution XD

[@Poetabrasileiro]

To be fair... Jack Black is the only one doing anything close to acting in this movie.

[@Demarcoa]

Does anyone know what the music is that plays at the end of the video when the critic goes smashy smashy? I've desperately been trying to figure it out cause it's annoyingly familiar.

[@danielcorrales4359]

its from William Tells The Storm

[@Demarcoa]

Daniel corrales thanks!

[@MizfitZer0]

Prime example of how nostalgia critic episodes SHOULD be. No bullshit, just him in front of the camera ripping a movie apart then a short skit at the end of him reacting to how the movie makes him feel and drives him to destroy it in a funny over the top way. No pointless 10 minute intros with unfunny comic relief black guys trying to sound sinister with stupid voices or ugly fat chicks trying to be quirky with awful acting and shitty comedy. Just the nostalgia critic, the movie, no bullshit, no pointless shit. I wish he would realise that those dead weights are the reason he gets dislikes and losses views... all his fans want this style of reviewing back. Just do it already

[@CooperativeCowboy25]

Critic: "First off, that's Jack Black." Me: "Wait, woah, really?" *rewinds and stares at screen within breathe-smelling-distance for a few seconds then proceeds to jump back and cover mouth in hands with complete and utter shock* "Oh my God, that is Jack Black... wuuuuut?" O_o

[@Zachpro98]

How come bastin, his sister, and the nasties didn't turn into arguing jerks

[@extremekiwi101]

10:33 Shhhh... Don't mention animatronics, FNAF fans might misinterpret it as something to do with the game just because you mentioned animatronics

[@ZoidiusPlasmaReaper]

Yeah.....because we all clearly know that FNAF came out in 2011.

[@ZoidiusPlasmaReaper]

[@ZoidiusPlasmaReaper]

bat sonic Tis no trouble.

[@eliassalazar423]

That's an animatronic? I couldn't tell because it looks like a rejected Marti Gras float! I mean did the budget just go to the puppets? Cause they look like something Jim Henson puked out after he died.

[@extremekiwi101]

+PlazmaReaper I know that, I was just making a joke about how whenever someone says "Animatronic" FNaF fans automatically think they're talking about the game

[@madampluto3092]

[@GroundhogDayisAWESOME]

You know...what he gets paid for. lol

[@madampluto3092]

***** That's true.

[@cheshirecat882]

Neverending Story: Budget $27 million, Box Office $100 million Neverending Story 2: Budget $36 million, Box Office $17.3 million Neverending Story 3: Budget $17 million, Box Office $1.3 million. This movie hardly made 1% of the original with the same name on the title.

[@r4h4al]

[@DigitalOberon]

The moment I saw what they did to Falcore, it was like my entire childhood had been set on fire.

[@lioneljones6672]

Where is Atrayu? They never show him throughout the whole film which is absurd seeing that he was one of the main characters...

[@ShadowSonic2]

He saw the script and ran off.

[@mathouyusef7419]

Could not stop laughing after the bit about jumping the shark

[@DeadSkullable]

The NeverEnding Story - AWESOME! Beautiful and amazing. The NeverEnding Story 2 - It was a great movie. Don't know why the hate comments. The NeverEnding Story 3 - Horrible. Worst third movie ever. I mean its like TMNT 3. But TMNT 3 was OK. But NeverEnding Story 3 was just bullshit.

[@whokilledzekeiddon]

DeadSkullable I am yet to see the third one, but if you thought the second was a "great movie"... wow, it _must_ be terrible.

[@DeadSkullable]

Zeke Iddon Shut up.

[@PlahaKumar]

DeadSkullable Agree.

[@whokilledzekeiddon]

DeadSkullable No. You may be surprised to learn that if you post on a public forum, people might respond.

[@DeadSkullable]

Zeke Iddon I don't care, you don't have to be a jerk about it.

[@trippcory]

There also was a NeverEnding Story CARTOON. It wasn't great, but it probably had the best Bastian. He was courageous, thoughtful, and mostly likeable, something none of the Bastians in the movies were. And while the Fantasians had their looks from the third film, they retained their personalities from the first.

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

it can be again friend, you just need to heal. *hugs* we're here for ya man... we're here

[@BuzzKirill3D]

[@twilightzoneseinfeld]

Is it the same actor doing all those voices for the rock biter family? Let's Google it. (Long pause) Hmm...Google's responding with "who cares?"

[@marionette8739]

Thanks for the music in the creepy scene Nostalgia Critic... It truly tied the scene together...

[@theshiznits2020]

I've never actually seen any of these movies, but I think the Rock Biter is what did it for me. Just by looking at the comparison of the two; I think I know what movie is better. In the original, he seemed like a large and strong, yet quiet, slow, and peaceful creature. In the 3rd movie, he was a small, obnoxious, loud, annoying, misbehaving, crackhead asshole! The original Rock Biter made me cry tears of joy and wonder. The last one made me cry tears of anger and frustration!

[@zachscarbrough2727]

***** And don't even get us started with the swamp of despair scene! Trust us if nothing else in the movie made you shed a tear, this will make you weep a fucking waterfall! I know I did.

[@whilan]

I feel like I need an explanation on what the Joke or symbolism is for the scenes at 18:34 or at 20:02 and at 22:53 . They all seem to be related to what Jack Black says but I simply don't understand. Seeing as no one else finds these scenes an odd placement it probably is just me not understanding it so any clarification on it would be great.

[@vguyver2]

You could read the original screen play to figure that out. Considering how bad the movie is, I don't care to read it nor seek it. It's beyond redemption.

[@VitorMiguell]

+whilan uh, I just thought it was comparision between jack's black caracter and khan (villian from star trek)

[@GreenNinjaTea]

13:58 favorite nostalgia critic quote ever

[@jacobvanveldhuizen5068]

Kiwi Farms member?

[@kaibrainard7227]

Did the movie makers from 2 & 3 forget about the actual book?

[@DemonRaksha]

Apparently they did. Fucking assholes..

[@kiraina25]

To be fair, movie 1 covered basically the whole of the first half of the book, and movie 2 took what it could from part 2, which is... really, really, REALLY hard to translate into film. There wasn't really anything new to take *from* the book.

[@DemonRaksha]

Yeah,then DONT make 3rd part ,if you cant take anything from the actual book. ALso the second part of the book iss waay bettter than the 2nd movie. Its so loosely based on the book,that it sucked..:D

[@r4h4al]

Kai Brainard yes, or they didn't care about the book

[@anthonyfins7519]

HAHAHA every time he screams Chuck Norris I lose it.

[@GalenNight]

what's the name of the creepy music playing at 4:31?

[@Glace1221]

I believe that The NeverEnding Story 3 is what Spoony would call: BETRAYAL

"Why in the hell are you in this movie?! Just leave!" Hahahahaha! That was a good one

[@mrmanepic1456V2]

This is the phantom menace of the neverending story

[@edvance1030]

AW, c'mon. This was much worse than Phantom Menace!

[@KangaKucha]

Acturally the Phantom Menace, odd title but oh well, is better. IMHO the attack of the clones, awful title, is worse of all star wars (so far...) despite the cool stuff ish like Yoda fighting.

[@mrmanepic1456V2]

I was thinking about putting the clone wars because it sucks. But i put phantom menace because i thought more people would understand.

danaconda2 shame more people don't like episode 2 more than 1. Episode 1, desbite some good scenes, is not a good movie, but its not thee worse star wars as episode 2 is, cuz the latter is pretty much a chick flick and has nothing to offer the SW name (episode 5 imho is weak, but had that father scene it is better than both episode 1 and 2.). Yet all that being said, I think if u need an example that I would say is so bad a flim it's IMHO one of, or thee, wrost ever made, its Rush Hour 3. IMHO, it's even more so than Batman & Robin. That's a fair comparison and I hope less have seen it cuz it sucks!

[@greysquirrel404]

Episodes 1 and 2 of Starwars, don't have great storylines or acting, but the fight scenes and cool and the settings are done well. So at least it's superficially enjoyable to watch if you can keep your disappointment at bay.

[@InfernityZ3r0]

Anyone knows the name of the theme that starts at 00:24?

[@Aristocles22]

51 people had their DVD smashed by the critic.

[@PetProjects2011]

You know things are gonna go down bad when a video opens with Nostalgia Critic crying.

[@Optimus97]

BUT WAIT... *aeeaaarrgghuuuaarrrgghhhhh* THEEERE'S MOOORE!!!

[@Commiton]

After NES II... I skipped III. Thanks to The Nostalgia Critic for the suffering he undertook to confirm for us (who wouldn't look) why we were right not to. It is a service; a sacrifice, that we, now confirmed and warned, appreciate more than may at first be apparent. Again: Salute! Bravo!

[@greenday103921guns]

Jack Black and Ricardo Montalban's performances side by side is fucking funny!!!

[@Cyberlanky]

Does anyone know what music is playing when NC is destroying the DVD? It's driving me nuts!

[@DavidMartin-gb6xn]

13:41 That jaw drop though! XD

[@DarthRushy]

What's the music from the creepy scene? I've heard Linkara use it too.

[@RennieAsh]

www.fantasien.net/tnes/onscreen/movies/nes3/soundtrack.html List of songs, not sure which one is the "creepy scene"

[@KombatGod]

Rock Biter slowly became The Head from Art Attack.

[@juanoshigeru]

14:00 The fact that he says "let me make ONE thing perfectly clear" and hes holding up two fingers, it bothers me x__x so much

[@PatrickStus]

Jack black makes everything a little less shitty (sept gulliver's travels)

[@MrCaseySasaki]

2:49 "Too bad, you got the dick-cheese from Free Willy, enjoy!" Considering the way it's edited, I get the sense that that was the *actual joke* the movie was going for.

[@JessOkami]

2:32 maybe the Nobodies? Or the Heartless!! Yeah, I went there.

[@BTTFMovie]

I had seen all three of the films when I was little, and I always considered the first one to be the best; the second, bearable, but not good, and the third completely forgettable. I read the book when I got to middle school, and I understood why they decided to cover only the first half in the movie. The book essentially contains 3 different character arcs, Bastian (while reading the book), Atreyu (during his journey), and Bastian again (while in Fantasia). Putting all of that into one movie would've been pretty difficult. So, using ideas from the second half of the book in the sequel was completely understandable. It's still a bad movie, but at least I get it. But I can't comprehend why ANYONE thought anybody could ever be entertained by this one. All it seems to be to me is "The Neverending $tory III: E$cape from Fanta$ia"

[@saraconnor4472]

Are terminator 2, Aliens and ace ventura 2 the ONLY good sequels to ever be made?

[@noobsaibot908]

Have you never seen The Godfather part 2,Bride of Frankenstein, Evil Dead 2 ,The Dark Knight, Star Trek 2, Empire Strikes Back,or Goldfinger? There's plenty of good sequels out there. Some are even better than the originals.

[@saraconnor4472]

Oh. Evil Dead 2. Such an awesome movie. Bruce says..this is my boomstick!! Great combination of horror and comedie

[@noobsaibot908]

Sara Connor​ It is an awesome movie but Ash says "This is my boomstick." in Army of Darkness.

[@saraconnor4472]

Im being serious. Like army of darkness. I laughed...i cringed

[@noobsaibot908]

ok wasnt sure haha. on youtube you could never tell.

[@victorfritschdesouza1065]

Man, i just f***ing love it that AVGN routine at the end... It was quite well deserved...

[@stanbai5263]

I wanted to laugh at NC but I was too busy duplicating the look on his face on the Rock Biter part

[@hellstarbiden3240]

21:42. is it just me or did they rip off the look of the kids from We're Back

[@LocustxXxLocust]

This loaded paused like "do you really want to do this" sure...*starts whit him in tears* This is gonna be "good".

[@Phoenixesper1]

I'm just waiting for the eventual reboot. The neverending story... by tim burton. Johnny deep as atreyu, hellena carter as the empress, morgan freeman as the one black guy in fantasia, mama june as the rock biter, the entire cast of jersey shore as the nothing, and whatever 10-14 year old male actor who happens to be popular at the time as bastion. Come watch as modern hollywood does to this timeless classic as the swamps of sadness did to Artex!

[@Chimerism101]

(in response to Michael Bay reboot comment chain) If anyone HAS to reboot The Neverending Story, it should be Christopher Nolan.

[@Vaxtris]

The Jumping the Shark bit had me in tears it was so hilarious!

[@jacobchanza5484]

I remember when this was the first ever NC video I ever watched,oh the memories

[@jessica23claire]

The Hispanic Nerd mine was either Congo or Twister! I nearly died laughing at the "JONAAAAS!" joke.

[@ahliypronouncedah-lee7269]

@ 24:50 Did that first credit just say "Jill Scott"?. What does she have to do with this movie?

[@StevenDolce]

I saw the trailer for the movie as a preview on a Schoolhouse Rock VHS tape.

[@Angela.Perkins]

+Steven Dolce Me too, along with 'The Thief and the Cobbler' and 'Bill Nye the Science Guy'. :)

[@pickering86]

I've seen this video more than I've seen that movie. 13:30 I've only just noticed how much they messed up. Rockbiter is supposed to be giant. Hell, later in the film, Junior is the size of a human. But here he is, riding through the forest, and the trees are bigger than him. There's no indication those are especially tall trees. Everything else around looks like ordinary foliage, ordinary bushes and flowers, not smaller trees growing next to giant ones.

[@Phoenixesper1]

Anyone else notice that the orin, that beautiful masterfully crafted gold and silver symbol of the power of fantasia from the first two movies, has been reduced to a piece of road side crap you'ed find at a wiccan fest?? Seriously it looks like a tape worm!

[@KnightsaysNi]

Weeeeeeeell, if the shoe fits...

[@unfabgirl]

I vaguely remembered watching this movie when I was four or five. I'd seen the first and second movies. I thought, "Perhaps the third one would be okay." The I saw this review and the Rockbiter and family. That scene alone made me feel the way Critic feels at the end.

[@garretthegamer1221]

If i don't believe in this movie, it won't hurt me.

[@reginaldgickington4793]

I love those inter cuts with Khan next to Jack Black, their villainous personalities are almost on par with each other.
